TEAS-REVIEW FINAL Flashcards
mucus
something that keeps air warm and moist; also traps particles
emphysema
tissues in lungs lose elasticity; cannot get oxygen or release co2
lung cancer
cells continuously reproduce; spreads to other locations; survival less than 5 years
heart disease
blood vessels are constricted, blood pressure increases, and heart works harder
cystic fibrosis
lungs are clogged with mucus
mesothelioma
lungs are exposed to asbestos and lose elasticity
elastic recoil
ability for alveoli to get filled with air and return to normal shape once air is released
tidal volume
volume of air we breathe in and out in a relaxed state
supplemental volume
extra volume we breathe in and out in a deep breath
reserved amount
amount of extra air you get from a forced breath
residual amount
amount of air you can’t get rid of even during forced exhaling
vital air capacity
air you control going in and out of lungs
total capacity
top of supplemental to bottom of residual
organs
group of tissues that perform a common function
nucleus
contains dna and rna and is responsible for growth and reproduction
cytoplasm
jellylike fluid in cell which organelles are suspended
nucleolus
found inside nucleus and produces ribosomes
golgi apparatus
organelle in cells that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in cell/ release outside of cell
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
creates lipids/fats
rough endoplasmic reticulum
covered with ribosomes where proteins for transport are assembled
DNA
complex molecule containing genetic information that makes up the chromosomes
RNA
single stranded nucleic acid that passes along genetic messages
mitosis
cell nucleus division; creates two identical cells from one original cell
lysosomes
cell filled with digestive enzymes to break down certain materials in the cell
